Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption

The parish church "Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption" in the center of Tamerville has a remarkable Romanesque tower. The erecttion of the church (and the tower) started in 1070 and was completed mid 12th century, but later the church got enlarged and altered a couple of times. The church was dedicated to Saint Mayeul (aka "Mayeul de Cluny", "Majolus of Cluny"). Saint Mayeul, important abbot of Cluny, built Cluny II. There must have been a connection to the Burgundy in the early times. I had been here five years ago and already uploaded many photos. Now I will add only very few. Two persons / couples can often be seen on the corbels under the roof, but three persons are very rare. Triplets?

A benedictian monastery was founded within the 9th. century on this spot. Within the 16th century Franciscan monks settled and constructed this cloister about a hundred years later. Though vandalized a couple of times, still a tranquil place. During the summer months concerts are staged here - from time to time.

Cemenelum, the capital of the ancient roman province "Alpes Maritimae" was here. A benedictian monastery was founded within the 9th. century on this spot. Within the 16th century Franciscan monks settled here and constructed this church "Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption". The monastery overlooking the eastern part of Nice is known for its gardens - and its cemetery.
